THE STUDENT PILOT WAS EXECUTING TOUCH AND GO TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS. WHILE ON FINAL APPROACH THE STUDENT PILOT FAILED TO MAINTAIN THE PROPER GLIDEPATH AND GOT TOO LOW AND EXECUTED A GO AROUND. THE AIRPLANE WAS CONFIGURED WITH FULL FLAPS AND THE CARBURETOR HEAT WAS ON. THE STUDENT PILOT ADDED POWER WITHOUT TURNING OFF THE CARBURETOR HEAT AND THE AIRPLANE PITCHED UP.
