How do you determine the streak of a mineral whose Mohs scale is higher than the streak plate?
You can determine the streak of a mineral whose Mohs scale is higher than the streak plate by either filing or crushing with a hammer before rubbing the sample on a streak plate.

Hematite, gold, feldspar or magnetite
How can you find hardness of a mineral?
Try scratching it with a variety of other objects (fingernail, steel nail, glass) whose hardness is known. Refer to the Mohs Hardness scale for more info on the hardness of specific materials
Scientists use this to determine a minerals resistance to being scratched?
A mineral's resistance to being scratched is known as it's hardness. You can determine hardness by scratching it with another material whose hardness is already known. If it can be scratched, then the hardness is lower. If the unknown leaves a scratch on the known material, then its hardness is higher.
How you would determine the hardness of an unidentified mineral sample?
The only way is through experimentation. You need to take a number of other minerals whose Mohs scale value you know (Mohs scale is the measure of hardness of a mineral with diamond being the hardest and talc being the least hard). Take your unknown sample and attempt to scratch it with all your control samples. If the known mineral can scratch your sample then it is harder, if it can't - but can be scratched by your sample - then it is lower on the scale. Eventually you will work your way to a point where you can say that your sample is harder than x but not as hard as y. Knowing the values of x and y on the Mohs scale will enable you to approximate a value for your unknown substance.
What was friedrich mohs contribution in helping us to identify minerals?
Mohs introduced the scale of mineral hardness - Mohs scale - named for him. Ten minerals whose hardness is known are ordered on a scale ranging from 1 (http://www.answers.com/topic/talc?initiator=WANSalc) to 10 (diamond),
