During a touch-and-go landing on a student solo training flight, the aircraft touched down on the nose landing gear, then bounced. The second touch down was also on the nose gear, which collapsed. The aircraft then slid to a stop on the runway. The student pilot said this was his first solo in a Cessna 150. His previous solo was in a Cessna 152.
