Civilization was made by science. Those same wheels are in motion, grinding endlessly towards more innovation, thanks to science.
The first person to explain the nature of this wheel to us is the science teacher. They exposed the various laws and their significance.
And we are thankful to them for this immeasurable contribution to our education.
But we will roast them if we get the chance.
This article contains 20 funny roasts for the science teacher. There’re puns, wordplays and many more. If you’ve been thinking of how to roast your science teacher, here’s your chance to get it right.
Dig in.
20 Funny Roasts For Your Science Teacher
