Morphology
The phrase 'scientific knowledge' is a straightforward adjective + noun composition: 'scientific' (relating to science) modifies 'knowledge' (information or understanding), so the meaning 'knowledge produced by or related to science' is directly derivable from the parts. This is a common, cross-linguistic compositional pattern and would be understood by a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Scientific knowledge brings two ideas together: scientific means 'found by careful testing' and knowledge means 'what we know'. Think of it like building a bridge where each part is tested and checked before it is added, so it means 'knowledge gained by careful study and testing'.
