When mixed with milk:
It remained white and became solid like, still soft, condensed
Had a smell like lead, paint, and old milk
When mixed with oil:
It did not absorb at all, it separated oil on top SP on bottom, smelled like oil, became like wet sand orsugar scrub
It did not do anything else

You will need:
- 5 - 10 tablespoons of Sodium Polyacrylate
- measuring spoons
- 5 bowls

Conclusion
My hypothesis was incorrect, the oil did not absorb into the Sodium Polyacrylate. However the rest did
