Science Teacher Gifts for Lab Days and Beyond

Science teachers spend their prep periods setting up labs, cleaning up after them and finding new ways to make the periodic table stick. Science teacher gifts should match that enthusiasm without falling back on a "you matter" atom pun.

Our designs — Measured Hope, Minimalist Science Aesthetic and more — are quietly scientific and printed to order. Related collections: STEM teacher gifts, chemist gifts and biologist gifts.

Short answer: the best science teacher gifts are curious, clever and comfortable. A minimalist science tee they can wear on lab days and weekends is a practical favorite.

Science teacher gifts by subject

  • Biology teachers: nature-inspired designs; Earth Day (April 22) is a natural moment.
  • Chemistry teachers: Mole Day (October 23, from 6:02 a.m. to 6:02 p.m.) is the chemistry holiday — order by early October.
  • Physics teachers: geometric or space-themed designs; Pi Day works too.
  • Earth and environmental science teachers: calm, natural graphics.

Practical gift tips

Science teachers often wear lab aprons or goggles, but a shirt still takes a beating. Comfort Colors is the sturdier of our two blanks and shrugs off weekly washing. For a lighter feel on warm lab days, choose Bella+Canvas. Measurements are in the size guide.

When to give

Besides Teacher Appreciation Week in May, science teachers love gifts on Mole Day, Pi Day and at the end of science fair season. For Christmas science teacher gifts, order by December 4.
