Morphology
The meaning 'a person whose job is to teach science' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'science' (the subject area) with 'teacher' (a person who teaches). This noun+noun compositional pattern is common across languages and uses frequent, literal constituents, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Science teacher comes from the simple picture of a teacher in a lab coat showing experiments and explaining how nature works. The word science names the subject and teacher the person who teaches, so science teacher means 'a person who teaches science'.
