The "scope" section is where you list what you are doing. The "bounds" section is where you set the boundaries and you list some thing explicitly that you are not doing because they are outside the bounds of the project.
Our Scope of research:

LITERATURE REVIEW
We found out that most of the research articles that were on the net said that the causes are due to teen pressure, media, curiosity. But all of their conclusions are based on experts studies, not the teen smokers themselves.

METHODOLOGY
Procedures
a) We are going to gather data by asking Teens probably from the ages of 13 -18 and ask them what are the reasons why teens smoke and for the smokers we are going to ask them what are the reasons of them smoking. We are going to ask them whether they think that smoking as a teenager is acceptable.
