Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'science' (relating to scientific work) with 'oven' (an enclosed heating device), yielding an oven used for scientific experiments. This noun–noun compositional pattern is common and mirrors equivalent constructions in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the intended sense.
Etymology
The noun science oven joins science and oven to create a simple picture: an oven that scientists use to heat or dry samples at exact temperatures for experiments. So the words explain why it means 'an oven for scientific experiments'.
