Objective means things that can be directly quantified, measured, and observed, without being open to interpretation.

Subjective can mean that something involves hunches, gut feelings, things that only a given person can know, or things where you have to guess at measurements.

For instance, an objective way to fit someone for eyeglasses would be to directly measure how the light hits the retina of the eye. That is how autorefractors work. They bounce low power infrared light and measure how it comes back. A subjective way to fit for glasses would be to show the patient a number of calibrated slides and ask them what looks the best and is the most readable and to use the numbers that the slides represent.

What does science strives to be objective mean?

It means that science is interested in objective truths as opposed to subjective truths. A subjective truth, such as "Yellow is the best colour" is true or false depending on the opinion/belief of the subject. It might be true for me, if yellow is my favourite colour, but false for you. A subjective truth can therefore be both true and false at the same time. An objective truth is true regardless of belief/opinion. It is always true and does not rely on belief to be so. For example, 2 + 2 = 4 or Weight = mass * gravity are objective truths. Science is interested in finding objective truths.
