Analysis
After about 45 min of flt time, the instructor (CFI) & student plt entered the traffic pattern to practice touch-&-go landings. As they were taking off from the 1st touch-&-go, the eng lost power. Subsequently, they made a forced landing in an open area near the rwy. During the landing roll, the nose gear encountered soft/wet terrain & collapsed. An exam of the fuel sys revealed there was only .6 gal of usable fuel remaining. The acft had been flown 3 hrs on a previous flt & was not refueled before taking off on the acdnt flt.
