Which solution makes the best bubbles?

Equipment needed:

• Pipe cleaners (3)
• Buckets (3)                                              
• Liquid dish washing soap
• Water
• Dish washing liquid  or glucose syrup
• Light corn syrup
• Masking tape 

What to do:

1. Put water and dish washing liquid into a bucket. Mix carefully and well.
2. Use your pipe cleaner to make a circle shape like this photo.   

3. Dip your pipe cleaner into the bucket. Take it out and blow. 

Do this with 2 more times once adding corn syrup to the mixture and the next bucket has dish washing liquid, water and glucose syrup.

Now, when you have made bubbles with all of the solution , which solution makes the best bubbles?    

I discovered that solution 2 gave the longest lasting bubbles out of all three solutions. This solution had corn syrup, Dish washing liquid and water.
